How to grow Carnations/Dianthus from seed a complete guide

[@kentlandzintoba]

Nice guide, thanks. Can the young carnations be planted straight into a garden bed instead of pots?

[@_Happysowinghappygrowing]

Yes as long as ab chance of frost has passed

[@ishiparikh]

Did you keep the seed tray indoor or was it outside? If outside, what was the temperature? It’s starting to get cold here where I live so I might keep them inside.

[@_Happysowinghappygrowing]

i keep them inside o er winter but during the summer some have been outside i hope that this helps Thanks for watching

[@reginaldo8597]

How long from the germination to the transplantation? I planted some, but they seem to be developing very slowly.

[@_Happysowinghappygrowing]

they normally take 2 to 3 weeks

@@_Happysowinghappygrowing thank you, mine are definitely smaller, maybe the season was not right, I'm in late autumn in Latin America, it is just starting to get cold.

I wish you can write the instructions for the hard hearing.

[@_Happysowinghappygrowing]

i will try and sort something out thanks for watching

[@pandarush.]

After placing the seeds in the compost, what was the purpose of putting the tray in water?

[@_Happysowinghappygrowing]

to wet the compost

[@pandarush.]

@@_Happysowinghappygrowing There were holes on the bottom of the tray?

[@_Happysowinghappygrowing]

The holes are to let the water drain down

[@KitKat-is5qg]

Do you have to separate each seedling when it grows?

[@_Happysowinghappygrowing]

Yes when the roots are seen growing out the bottom

[@br78910]

Great. In how many days did the seeds germinate?

[@_Happysowinghappygrowing]

It usually any time from 7 to 21 days I hope this helps thanks for watching as always Happy Sowing Happy Growing 😊keep safe

@@_Happysowinghappygrowing Oh! Thank you! I waited for more than two weeks and no luck. Will try this method using my new set of Carnation seeds. Thanks, again! Stay safe!

[@_Happysowinghappygrowing]

@@br78910 that's great goof luck

[@br78910]

I sowed the seeds in 10 containers. Lol. I had 5 packets of carnation seeds (different varieties). I am surprised at how confidently you water the saplings in those small pots. Don’t they go weak if you water over them? Anyways, looking forward to more tips from you. Be safe!

[@_Happysowinghappygrowing]

@@br78910 I always soak them when transplanted but after the initial watering I keep moist but not water logged good luck and keep me updated thanks for watching ad always Happy Sowing Happy Growing 😊😀☺

[@liannemcgarry1791]

Why didnt you sow seeds in small pots?

[@_Happysowinghappygrowing]

unfortunately when I start my seeds i try to save space while they germinate then move on to single pots

[@grayukuk]

[@_Happysowinghappygrowing]
